I listened to her for only 1 min, not the entire video. 1 min was more than enough to establish that this is not a person I would like a close relationship with.

(mind you, the woman posting this video is also not entirely grounded, but never mind that).

This is a list of birthdays in order of how common they are. Mine is very unusual.

Feb 29th is the 56th most common birthday? I can’t get my head around that. Very strange!

That just sounds plain wrong, unless they are somehow multiplying it by 4 to weight it out evenly.

Yeah that list looks like BS. @Bekloppt do you have the source/data/basis for this? I thought you were a stickler for attribution :wink:

It’s published by the International Office of Family Statistics, a highly respected independent NGO run by my auntie from her garden shed in East Grinstead.

This isn’t from the internet however it is fact.
My ex’s birthday is the 29th of February and her first child, daughter, was born on the 1st of March on a non leap year.
I have always been fascinated by that.

Mine is depressingly common :anguished_face:

At least my first name is less common outside Scandinavia.

And in the S&M scene.

I am not well versed in that scene sadly. Is Magnus a thing there ?

Do not google!

I call shenanigans - How popular is your birthday? - Office for National Statistics

Latter half of September/early October are peak birthdays.

December the 25th shows a big drop from other dates in December (holding it in!). :smiley:

I seem to recall that it goes down at weekends as they tend not to induce births when they are lower staffed.

I’ll have to have a word with my aunt.

Yeah, you wouldn’t get many planned c-sections around then either.

I’ve started listening to LOTR nerd YT videos that explain the back stories and motivations of the lead characters.

Is there something wrong with me?

I wanted to move to East Grinstead.

Is this the first time you’ve asked this question?

On TAN, yes.

It took me a while to feel comfortable sharing.
